I just got back from a Wave riding trip in PR and my Vegas 08' 9m kicked ass!! Has anyone noticed how small the struts tips are? There's no vecro holding the bladders in either. I cant even fit my fingers in there! Has anyone tried,(had), to repair or change a bladder yet? I realize this design makes for better performance but I'm wondering if it could be an issue.

Replaced one strut bladder on my 10m. It was really hard to get the folded over fabric and bladder end out of the tip to tie the line round and then even harder to get it back in - like you say it's too small for fingers. To extract and reinstall I ended up pushing the blunt end of a pencil down the tip and just moving the fabric little by little - took quite a long time to get it back in...
